The Fisher 100 Micro Receiver Radio
I have read this was a pretty good table radio from the 70's
I saw one in a antique store for $25 and the only thing I know is it powers up. The person who ran the booth was not there so I could not test anything else.
It looked to be in the shape of about a 7 mainly because the cloth speaker cover looked dirty.
Any thoughts on doing more research or if for that price I should grab it?
Here is some info. It looks like it was made in ’67. If it is working you should go for it! http://www.americanradiohistory.com/Archive-High-Fidelity/60s/High-Fidelity-1967-11.pdf |
Friends of mine had a Fisher 100 back in the late '60s, early '70s. I wasn't familiar with the KLH Eight yet and Advent hadn't introduced their FM radio. So I was amazed to hear that sound quality from such a compact unit. It could likely benefit from a few parts updates plus an alignment after all these years. So depending on your budget and local quality FM stations (if any still exist) it could be a nice purchase. |
